Masters of Financial Economics from Canadian school, anyone?

I am in my 4th year undergrad from non-target school in Canada but have internship experience at a pension fund and at a boutique IB . I dont have a full time offer but I got accepted to a masters of financial economics program at one of the schools in Ontario. Program is 16 mos, with 4 mos internship ending in December of next year, 50K tuition

What do you guys think is a better option?

- Accept but still look for jobs until the end of the summer? (Probably going to be bombarded during with course work during recruiting season)

- Don't accept, look harder for jobs?

I've talked to few IB contacts mostly mining who said the market doesnt look too good for jobs in toronto right now.

Any one have a MFE degree from a Canadian school? What are some career options? I know its more quant but I want to do IB.

Any advice will be appreciated!
